Investing in a Kebab van outside STC MOBs would sound like a good deal, until you realise that the PAYD company at Leuchars banned the long established van from working outside the station. They could only do this because he used a power supply from the base, good for him, good for the people of Leuchars, too much competition for ESS.
ESS nothing more than a money grabbing company with no understanding of military or mess life. Yes they have improved the all-ranks facility, but at the expense of the junior ranks bar, and mess life is at best critical, definetely on life support.
PAYD sounds like a good idea, but once again we a let down by the contract writers (Leuchars is STC PAYD trial but has signed a 10 year contract - extensive trial or clever dealing by ESS?) and people who don't appreciate that military life is different to civilian life.
